App Development
Hi there,
I'm a newbie of VR/AR developer. I'm going to develop Hololens' app, but I don't have the hardware of Hololens now. Could I use the google cardboard as the prototype to see my app of Hololens? Do they compatible? How could I do that?

HoloLens and Google Cardboard aren't compatible at all.
Even without a HoloLens device, you can still use the HoloLens emulator to develop applications and see more or less what they would look like.
Vangos Pterneas has a great walkthrough for setting up your development environment for HoloLens.
